When the Boss’ Lady Became His Sister-in-law

Chapter 123

In the CEO’s office.

Kristin glanced at her tiny desk tucked into the corner, feeling incredibly cramped. “Mr. FitzGerald, maybe I should go work outside. It’s quite nice there.”

After all, a CEO needed his privacy, and her working inside his office just didn’t seem

right.

“What exactly does being a personal assistant entail?” Rhett asked casually, setting down the contract he had been reviewing.

Kristin dropped her gaze to the floor and fell silent, not wanting to provoke his anger.

“Coffee.” Rhett gestured toward his empty cup.

Quickly, Kristin moved to fetch the cup and started preparing a fresh coffee for Rhett.

*Carter won’t give up on Summer’s custody that easily. He’s waiting for you to slip up,” Rhett mentioned nonchalantly, as if reminding her were an afterthought.

At the door, Kristin paused but didn’t respond.

“If you need, York can assist with Summer’s registration,” Rhett muttered, still not looking up.

He’d never admitted that he had a soft spot for Summer. Before meeting Summer, Rhett had considered himself not fond of children.

After encountering Summer, he realized it wasn’t a general disdain for kids. He specifically disliked Eve’s son, Milo.

“Thank you, Mr. FitzGerald, but it’s not necessary,” Kristin refused, shaking her head.

Even if Rhett was willing to help her, she couldn’t accept. If Summer’s registration ended up in Rhett’s name, their illicit relationship would be exposed to the Bryce family.

Besides, her relationship with Rhett was purely transactional. Just as James had said, it was likely that Rhett would eventually marry Hertha.

It was only a matter of three years, perhaps even less before Rhett grew tired of her.

Why bother with the hassle?

Moreover, if Summer were to be legally under Rhett’s care, Summer could claim a portion of his wealth, something the FitzGerald family would never allow.
